Street Cars in Mexico.

Mexico letter in Sacramento Record.
The street cars run in groups one never being
seen alone nor two together. but always three or
four in a row less than half block apart. In

conductors besides the driver. and also in many
places two or three soldiers armed cap-a-pie. This
first conductor approaches a passenger. sells him
a ticket and pockets the money. and soon the

reason does not fit the case. The captured
flags are not to be removed from public view.
On the contrary, they will henceforth bs very
much more exposed to public view than they
have been in the upper rooms of the War De-
partment. If it had been desired to remove
them entirely from public view they might
have been burned. That would have been
better than returning them to their former
owners for such disposition as the Southern
State authorities may determine. There can
be no doubt what that disposition would be.
The flags will be received with shouts of de-
light and will De placed on public exhibition
in the various State Capitols and in other con-
spicuous places. They will be carefully pre-
served as sacred relics of the lost cause and
used to educate Southern youth in sentiments
of disloyalty. AS the surrendered flags reach

The observant citizen will remember that
yesterday was very warm day; that the sun
shone with great power at o'clock in the
afternoon. The same observing citizen at
that hour could have seen the night-cart car
of Colonel Johnson's railroad carrying full
load of the most offensive-smelling and dis
ease-breeding matter down Massachusetts
avenue and Pennsylvania and Washington
streets, thus showing the utter contempt the
Johnsons have for public decency and their
utter disregard of the public health.

Mrs. Stowe Indignant.

HartfOrd COurant.
A while ago some donkey unknown started
preposterous story that in consequence of hef
observations and experiences since she became
q Florida landowner and employer of negro
labor, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe had changed
her mind about slavery. He even went thu
length of affirming that she had admitted that
she would not have written 1.Uncle Toms Cabin
if she had known much about the peculiar ins
stitution then as she knows now. The daughter
of one of Mrs. Stoves old anti-slavery friends in
Jacksonville, Ill, was disturbed in mind by
this story that she wrote to Mrs Stowe about it.
She received the following reply:
1t is vile Islander to say that ever in any SHAPE
form, took back the things said in Uncle Tomas
Cabin" never did, did not-fnd the Southern
negroes degraded, ignorant and worthless, but
sidering their advantages far better than many white
people. Please assert these things boldly my

THE plain and simple citizen who has gone on
his way through life without being able to grasp

THE REBEL BATTLE FLAGS,

Acting upon suggestion of the Adiutant-
to return all the captured rebel battle flags
now in Washington to the authorities of the
several Southern States to which they origin
ally belonged. There is large number of
these flags At the close of the war theyiwere
turned over to the government by the differ
ent commands that had captured them, and
for many years past they have been stored in
upper rooms of the War Department. Now
they are to be returned to the several States
by order of the President, for such final dis
position as the State authorities may deter
mine. At first glance this may seem like
small matter. Some may say: ooh, the war
is over; the flags are no good, what is the use
of keeping themf Why not return them to
their former ownersf" Yes, the war is over
and the captured flags have no money value,
but they represent something, nevertheless.
On oneside they represent great rebellion and
a determined attempt to destroy the govern
ment, and on the other gallant and successful
struggle to preserve it. These flags were
captured at the cost of many precious lives.
Looking beneath the surface does it not ap-
pear as if the return of these flags to their
former owners was in some sort victory for
themG The reason given for the act is that
it is thought best to remove from public view
these evidences of fratricidal strife, but the
